Parents 'Forget' Son For Two Days After Birthday Party

Now that the party's over, who's taking the birthday boy home? Apparently none of the 20 guests (his grandmother included) at a three-year-old Michigan boy's birthday party thought to ask this question or find out his whereabouts for two days following the celebration. His parents, who are no longer together, say they thought he was with the other or with his grandmother in Detroit. A day later, the mother called the father and grandmother inquiring about the boy, and when both told her they didn't have him, she still didn't alert police.
